Abstract:

Due to the geographical location of Iran, which is located in an arid and semi-arid region and increasing consumption of water, Iran will face a water crisis in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to consider different strategies in the country's water consumption management. In this study, using strategic models, virtual water trade between Iran and other parts of the world was investigated for 2014. This study was carried out in three steps. First, the virtual water of selected products was calculated and in the next step using SWOT model, weaknesses, strength, threat and opportunities of virtual water exchange were identified. Then, QSPM and Friedman (stakeholder) matrices were used to quantify the strategy and determine the best operational strategy. Investigating the SWOT model, it was found that the appropriate strategy to move towards the optimal conditions is the aggressive strategy. The QSPM matrix analysis also showed that the focus on the production of low-virtual water products especially saffron and raisins (5.37 points) and using foreign investment for the processing of low-virtual water products (5.1 points) are the main operation strategies in this research. The results of the stakeholder matrix also showed that using foreign investment to process low-water virtual products and then export these products (score 105) is the best option for exchanging Iranian agricultural products. Therefore, applying these two strategies will also address the country's water problems and, on the other hand, the economic issues of agricultural commodity exchange are resolved.
